Thunder and lightning at Prestwick: Short Belfast Heavy Lift

**peer01** · 02-03-2010, 05:09 AM

I Reinstalled this big old Turboprop to test it out in FSX. I saw this bird numerous times at EHAM so it brings back great memories, the whole neighbourhood was tremblimg when they climbed out over our house. I added a Vanguard panel and a VERY loud soundpack. The pics without lightning came out way too dark, so they needed some heavy editing, I hope you still like them.

Loading the beast, the weather is terrible

Pushback

Taxiing to the active

No bill for a fence this time

Clearance for take-off

So far, so good

The usual incident with the friendly people from Orbit:

Still some lightning behind us

On we go

Thanks very much for looking!
GREETS!

Ive been waiting for five minutes for you to complete this post, just so I can say. "

What an awesomely atmoshpheric post Jan. Top quality shots. The 'brightening' in photoshop has made it all the better in my opinion! Great aircraft and scenery too!

PS. I would like to request a set of a certain recently released Tiger Moth if you are enjoying it! I bet you could do an interesting or historical flight with it as you usually do!

Great post once again mate.

Jeh, thanks for your kind comment my friend, I'll install the Moth and make a flight over the UK.

Nice stuff Jan. I love that Aircraft :-) Looks like ATC had a mare :-P

Pete! Thank you my friend

I don't think ATC made a mistake, it's the Orbit conspiracy

Sounds like a brilliant tribute. I'm suprised you havn't got around to trying it yet. It's a top quality offering. The flight dynamics seem very real to me as well as looking pretty. Have fun when you get around to it!
